Is there anybody left that does a decent job of boring cylinders? Or is the concensous that it just isn't worth the time and possibilities of donors cylinders being bad?
I talked with Art at ACE and that was his advice which I value. Just wanted to see if there was any other input. If one was to by a set of pistons and cylinders from AA do these have to be checked for various quality concerns? |

I have three old school machine shops locally that do it. One is a fifty year vw machine shop. My last set that I had done cost me 20 bucks each. They have been in my car for 4500 miles with no prob. I would think that there would be similar shops in any city of half a million or more. I also agree with the bike machine shops.
